What you might be seeing

  • Previous repairs haven't stopped the leak
  • You're not sure if it's a leak or condensation
  • You need a written report for a landlord, insurer or builder

What usually causes it?

More than one fault

Older lanterns often have two or three small failures.

Not the lantern

Sometimes the source is the flat roof, a parapet, a gutter or a wall above.

About Gosforth and the NE3 area

Snow and ice sitting at the eaves can block a lantern's drainage and push water back under the glass as it melts. If your lantern leaks after a thaw rather than after rain, tell us — it points to the eaves and kerb.

In built-up areas, access is often the hardest part of the job — through the house, over a neighbour's roof, or with parking restrictions. We plan access in advance and price any tower or scaffold into the quote.

From Newcastle upon Tyne to Gosforth is roughly 2 miles — all part of the Tyne and Wear area we cover.

Do you need permission in England?

In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the local council for alterations, and conservation areas can have extra controls; like-for-like repairs are treated differently from changes, so check with the council's conservation officer first.
